Tom Boonen vandt i Qatar

Første etape af Tour of Qatar blev afviklet i dag. Rytterne skulle køre 142,5 kilometer fra Barzan Towers til Doha Golf Club i den lille ørkenstat.

Som forventet sluttede etapen i en massespurt. Der var kraftig medvind, og det udnyttede Omega Pharma-QuickStep med et perfekt lead-out til deres kaptajn Tom Boonen, der kunne tage en flot sejr. Britiske Adam Blythe (BMC Racing Team) tog sig af andenpladsen, mens det unge slovakiske talent Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) fik den sidste plads på podiet.

Det er Tom Boonens anden sejr i denne sæson. Tilbage i januar måned vandt han 7. etape af Tour de San Luis, og han bekræfter dermed den gode form. Han fortsætter samtidig Omega Pharma-QuickSteps sejrsstime, og de fører suverænt sejrsstatistikken med seks sejre i 2012. Udover Boonen er det Francesco Chicchi og Levi Leipheimer, der har sørget for at hive dem i hus.
